Madhavendra Puri Prabhu and I were at a college trying to engage in Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s most glorious sankirtan movement by distributing books. We spent an entire week at this one college and told everyone that on Friday we were going to have a class to discuss and try some Bhakti Yoga.
On the fateful day at least 10 students showed up and enthusiastically chanted the holy names of Lord Hari and Krishna. Afterward I asked for everyone’s email and sent them a message requesting a reply fro

ISKCON’s Vaishnavi Ministry has organized a virtual panel discussion entitled “Responsible Innovation for a Sustainable World: The Right Blend of Intent, Intuition, and the Feminine Heart with Information and Technology.” This panel will explore how we can bring feminine intuition and spiritual practice into our efforts to create a sustainable world.

On Thursday 9th March at 12.06pm, under the gaze of Śrī Giriraja, in the holy land of Śrī Vṛndāvana dhāma, in the loving company of his spiritual master and the vaisnavas, with a resounding kirtan party, His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami departed from this material realm.
In the coming hours we will send details of the Samadhi Ceremony and online links for viewing.

My dear Kadamba Kanana Swami Maharaja,
Please accept my prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. And all glories to your wonderful service to him.
Srila Prabhupada said that when a Vaishnava departs, we feel simultaneously happy and sad. We feel happy because we know that the Vaishnava has gone to serve Krishna, but we feel sad because we will miss the Vaishnava’s association. In your case, I am also happy that you no longer have to suffer in your disease-ridde
Acclimating to the cold is fairly easy for me. Apparently, several centimetres were to land on surfaces in all directions on this day. Sure enough, a storm hit delivering generous amounts of the white magic. It came down quite fiercely. It’s humbling.
I am looking forward to some walking once it clears somewhat.
I was so touched that members of our Bhakti Academy are alternating at giving classes for the Bhagavatam session. In my absence, the program has been going on. Today’s presenter was Leo
Home Programme in Auckland
I did a home program in Auckland. At the end of the talk this Indian lady approached me with some questions. She was under lots of stress. She witnessed one of her friends committing suicide, a big shock. She is very attached to her father and for some strange reason she thought “What if my father dies”? Sure enough she got a call from india saying her father had a stroke and went into coma. Both these combined she was going through so much anxiety she was asking me w
A series of events honouring George Harrison’s spiritual life were held in Liverpool in celebration of what would have been his 80th birthday.
Inspired by Pradyumna Das, who credits George Harrison for his attraction to Krishna consciousness, devotees from around the country put on a number of special events in the Spiritual Beatle’s birth city, including an exclusive interview with Gurudas Prabhu, who flew into the UK especially for the occasion.

Whilst we lower the Gaura Purnima flag to bring the festivities to a close, HH Kadamba Kanana Swami departs from this world. Just as though he was waiting for this day to come.

The road to the Delhi Airport was quite smooth. I asked our driver what the name of the road was, but there’s a language barrier. Shame on me. I should know some Hindi by now. There were the shortcuts. They were rough.
Parama Karuna, the professional dancer who was part of our drama troupe, left for Paris from here. The rest of us – Chris, Anya, Dhruva, Kunti, Vya, and I – waited at our gate for Lufthansa Airlines for a stop at Frankfurt before proceeding back to Canada.

This is a traditional Christian festival, which became part of the protocol of the provincial state and has been celebrated since 1938, in which God is thanked for the crops.
Mendoza has had an Interreligious Council since approximately 1976, in which various religious leaders of different confessions came together to give refuge to those exiled from Chile, due to the military cou
